FDB4315LFC0 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I turned the power off at the circuit breaker. I then took the access panel off the dishwasher at the bottom. I pulled the wire off the connector. I used a plied to remove the broken washer and replaced with new part. I put everything back in reverse order and ran the dishwasher. I than checked for leaks over two days while the machine was running and everything was fine. Thank you Parts Select for saving me $500!

The repair went very easy. Just opened the door , and pulled out the worn seal. Lined up the new seal and carefullly pushed new seal into place. Seal pushed in very smooth.

Remove Phillips head screws on inner part of door panel. Pull door cover up and remove face panel. Remove torx head screws from inner side of door and remove control panel. Remove two torx screws retaining door latch mechanism. Remove and replace two wiring harnesses from old latch to new latch noting polarity. I tall new latch using two original torx screws. Replace control panel and cover in reverse order. Test door latch function under any cycle. Washer should start with door closed and stop when opened

Lower the door and remove bottom dish tray. Feel with fingers the area where gasket will be pulled from (just below bottom door edge) Pull old gasket from door edge into direction of inside dishwasher. Insert new one in same orientation as old (small slit to right side). New gasket strip will seat into door bottom.

Removed front of door to see how gasket was installed. removed door for proper cleaning of gasket area, removed old gasket cleaned area and installed new gasket in holder notch, reinstalled door adjusting alinement, reinstalled door front.

Had to pull the dishwasher all the way out, but once I removed the insulation surrounding it I found the vent on top. I removed the old vent, unplugged the old wire harness and plugged in my new one. Installation couldn't have been easier!

Slid dishwater out from cabinet, replace cable, slid unit back in , secure ---done! door has tension now.

Very, very easy. Pop off the old wheels and snap the new ones into place on the rack.

All we had to do was remove the old racks and pop in the new. Very easy to do!

After turning of the power to dishwasher, I opened the door took of the two bottom screws on both sides of door. Closed the door and front panel just slide off. Then I took a picture of the dispenser to make use I could figure out how to put the wiring back together. Removed the six screws holding it in place and popped the dispenser out. Easy .. popped new dispenser in and lightly put all six screws back in ,wired it back up after checking my photo. Closed the door ,slid front panel back on opened the door put the 4 screws back in that hold the front panel .Turned power back on and Boom!! All done.. Not bad for a girl...

Took off front door panel with two screws. Found the part in the door. took it out and slide the new part in. My husband screwed the screws while I held the door in place. If I had known it was so easy to do I would have done it as soon as I got the part but I waited for my husbands help.

After several years of use and cleaning the small "nubs" that held the locking peice on the assembly under the jet arm had worn off. This allowed the whole thing to spin and the dishes weren't getting clean. Finding the part on the site was easy, it arrived amazingly fast and all is up and working great. I have used Parts Select 2 or 3 times in the past and have always had the same great results. Saved me a bunch in repair bills. Thanks

Internet search found high limit switch as primary failure, removed dishwasher existing part looked new, no signs of wear as was expected. Second failure was the heating element, I ordered the part; At the same time I found a random youtube video, that had me check the continuity of the heater and tested good. Then the video indicated the heater relay may have one leg that has lost the solder and stops the heater element from working. I took the control panel a part and the heater relay had the same failure, one leg had a missing solder joint. Using some flux, solder and soldering iron I repaired the connection and added some addition solder to the circuit. Reassembled and the dishwasher is heating as it was before everything is working as expected!
(P.S. The heater relay failure appears to be a common problem, but the actual root cause [relay failure due to poor solder joint] is never reported back to the company, they just hear the heater element stopped working and they never fix the real issue because the customers are throwing out the dishwasher, when it could have been repaired with a simple fix. More importantly it should be something that is investigated as it may needs an engineering redesign. but can't fix what you don't know about or fail to investigate. I did purchase a new relay to replace the existing one, to be installed upon arrival).
Once again a random youtube video identifies and resolves a problem, that would have had me purchasing a new dishwasher, and maybe this is all planned engineering obsolescence.
When will get smart dishwasher that have sensors or at least codes that report the failures correctly, to make DIY repairs?

First I removed two screws that held the door panel on. Then I pulled out the old gasket, inserted the new one, replaced the door and screws and it was done! We tested the dishwasher and no more leaks!

Replace the latch. Got to cut off old latch, trim wires, install latch, and put on the dishwasher door cover back on with screws
